get health insurance

I got the e-mail notification today: my application has been approved, and as of yesterday I am insured!

Don’t know yet whether or not there will be any change in the rate as compared to what eHealthInsurance quoted me, but at this point, I don’t care a bit.

I can’t wait until I get my card and am able to go see my new doctor (whoever she may be). :)

has now increased. so i’m no longer needing to do this.

medicare is good.
(sometimes)

The information will be in the mail soon. I so hope this works out for me. This will be a huge step toward the divorce.

I mailed in a request for information. Here we go again. I can do this.

Filled out my application last week. When it kicks in, then I’ll cross this off my list.

I’ve been trying to get health insurance after my daughter was born (2 years ago). All I have been getting is bullsh!t excuses and Im pissed. Then I tried to get insurance through aetna. They approved and took my money but didn’t send me an ID card for 3 months and on top of that it said on the approval paper that I can sign in to the website but I can’t so I called aetna and they said that they would send it but Im still waiting. This really sucks because I have alot of medical conditions that are getting worse.

It took an hour – a whole hour! – of my now fairly precious time, but the application is now finished and submitted. If all goes well, I’ll be insured by the first of June. fingers crossed

Amazing part is, it wasn’t actually that expensive. Mind you, I say this from the vantage point of being young, healthy, and employed, but from the constant brouhaha regarding the state of health insurance in this country, I was expecting the cost to be much higher. So huh. :)

My new employer will give me a stipend to cover the cost of health insurance, which is absolutely fantastic.

HOWEVER, before he does that, I need to actually sign up for health insurance, and at this point, the whole process is confusing to the point of being overwhelming. I mean, how do I make a choice? What makes one plan better than another, how do I make sure that I am getting what I actually need, etc. etc. etc.

The whole industry is absolutely baffling (which is probably why they’re able to get away with so much nonsense). sigh

It is nice to know and great to get something off my list that is so boring!

Later she called while I was in class and left a message that said that I had still not been approved. My Q is, of course, why take my $ if you have not even approved me yet? It just does not make sense to me but I do not really know how this computer works that I am typing on so what the hell. I think it may be a good sign though. Perhaps it is a test to see if I will have a myocardial infarction because of the unwarranted debit. Maybe if I don’t they will approve me..
